Pink in October?
Everywhere you look - you will see pink, not normally your October colors, but Ravalli County is showing its support for the ‘Sprinkle Pink’ campaign. October is breast cancer awareness month and there have been events going on up and down the valley to raise awareness for breast cancer. All monetary donations to the Aid for Mammography fund during the Sprinkle Pink campaign, are matched dollar for dollar by Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital. The Aid for Mammography fund was started years ago and provides Ravalli County women in need with the resources to get annual mammograms and other necessary procedures based on diagnosis at Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital.
Fall Photos . . . Fall is in the air and the smoke is gone! The Valley had over 50 days without rain, which set a record. Cool, crisp air, snow on the mountain tops and beautiful fall colors, dominate the scene these days. Patrick Chaplin, who’s photographs are shown on the left, gives us a glimpse of Fall In The Bitterroot. Patrick’s photos have been used in numerous Chamber’s publications. Thank you Patrick for sharing . . .
